But if we haven't changed our habits prior to this update, why is this a legit claim? If my battery lasted about 20% more pre 7.1 with BT and GPS on all day, why should I turn it off it?
4 months later and the battery hasn't improved, I only get around 2 hrs screen on with 17-20 hrs use (that's barely any use, texts and some reading).
Pixel users report fantastic battery life so I guess google optimized their phone perfectly while ours is left lingering. It's not the worst battery life I've experienced but it's a definite drop compared to prior.
